Adam Jackson’s Summary

I'm a software engineer/architect by trade, with a focus on web-based applications and large-scale data mining. I've owned a consulting business that focuses on providing high-end custom solutions in these and other areas for the last decade.
An offshoot of the consulting business, MarketSquare.com, was acquired by local shopping leader StepUp Commerce. StepUp, which I co-managed, was recently acquired by Intuit, Inc.

I just recently co-founded a new startup that will play in the consumer automotive space.
